Measurement Campaign Coordinated by KIT Set to Explore the Dynamics of Weather Systems over the North Atlantic. Strong winds, heavy precipitation, and cold air outbreaks are high-impact weather events that tend to occur frequently in the cold winter months and can cause exceptional situations even in Germany – as recently experienced when winter storm “Elli” […]

This was a significant moment in the quest to calibrate and validate data from the satellite’s four trailblazing instruments, which work in synergy to shed light on a major mystery – how clouds and aerosols affect Earth’s climate. The EarthCARE Data, Innovation and Science Cluster produces the algorithms and science products that make EarthCARE data

Im Rahmen des „Chemistry of the Atmosphere Field Experiments“ Programms misst ein Forschungsteam des Max-Planck-Instituts im Norden Australiens mit einem Spezialflugzeug namens „HALO“ Werte in der tropischen Atmosphäre. Es ist die dritte und abschließende Mission des Projekts CAFE. Im Gespräch verraten die Forschungsleiter*innen Hartwig Harder und Mira Pöhlker, wonach sie genau forschen, was die Flugzeugnase

A team of German scientists have been circling the skies above northern Australia and the Pacific Ocean in a high-tech research aircraft studying the atmospheric chemistry occurring above the clouds. The Chemistry of the Atmosphere: Field Experiment (CAFE) team has tracked weather events and taken samples and measurements up to 15 kilometres above sea level.
Third and final part of the CAFE research expedition to study photochemistry and aerosol particle formation in the tropical atmosphere. In January and February, the German research aircraft HALO will be flying from Australia to investigate a climate change hotspot on the equator. It is the third part of a large-scale series of expeditions dealing

Third and final part of the CAFE research expedition to study photochemistry and aerosol particle formation in the tropical atmosphere. The year 2024 is off to an exciting start at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry: Many of its researchers will be heading to Cairns in north-eastern Australia in the first few days of January.
